  • the palms of the hands point to the thighs
  • stand straight up
  • look ahead
  • your feet are hip width apart

  • the arms still hang down at the side of the body
  • the rear knee in 90 degree angle almost touches the ground
  • the tiptoes point forward
  • do not let the knees rotate outwards, the knees tiptoes are the farthest point in front of you
